Vacuum valves: innovative solutions for industrial automation
Vacuum valves are a key element in industrial automation, providing precise pressure control and improving the efficiency of production processes. In particular, piston vacuum valves are distinguished by their ability to manage the flow of air in a safe and controlled manner, offering high performance in various applications.
Key Applications of Vacuum Valves:
- Workpiece Handling and Clamping
In automated production lines, workpiece positioning and clamping are critical operations. Vacuum pad valves facilitate the handling of objects, thanks to their ability to generate controlled suction. This system allows various materials to be safely lifted, positioned and clamped, reducing the risk of errors and increasing productivity. Similar solutions are used in industrial robots and assembly systems, where accuracy is essential, and in logistics (palletisers, automated warehouses, etc.).
- Vacuum Packaging
Vacuum packaging is one of the most popular applications of vacuum valves. These valves remove air from packaging, preserving the freshness and quality of food, healthcare products and textiles. The use of buffer valves ensures precise vacuum control, making the packaging process more efficient and extending the shelf life of products. From coffee to delicate products, vacuum packaging becomes an ideal choice to keep original characteristics intact.
- Pressure and Vacuum Pneumatic Conveying
Another strategic application of vacuum valves is pneumatic conveying, both under pressure and depression. In this context, the valves ensure a continuous and regulated flow of materials such as flour, sugar, powders and plastic granules, guaranteeing safety and reliability. Accurate vacuum control minimises losses and optimises processes, making pneumatic conveying an effective solution in many industries.
Other Industrial Applications
The potential of vacuum valves extends far beyond the applications described above. Other possibilities include:
Drying and Impregnation: Removing moisture and facilitating the absorption of substances into materials, for treatment and finishing processes.
Distillation: Lowering the boiling temperature of solvents, improving the energy and production efficiency of plants.
Suction and Sludge Management: Use in self-purging plants and waste disposal systems, where precise vacuum control is essential.
Moulding of plastics or rubbery materials: Vacuum allows materials in a liquid state to be evenly distributed throughout the mould.
Vacuum pad valves are versatile and innovative technological solutions that optimise numerous industrial processes. From part handling and clamping to vacuum packaging and pneumatic conveying, these valves offer reliability and precision, helping to improve plant productivity and safety. Choosing the right vacuum control technology means investing in efficiency and quality, essential elements for success in industrial automation.

Maros Engineering air-operated or pneumatic vacuum valves are used in a wide range of industrial automation applications in systems with vacuum pumps or blowers.
Some examples:
Vacuum packaging of ground and bean coffee and any food that can be stored under vacuum,
Vacuum packaging of sanitary products or textiles such as diapers, mattresses, pillows, etc.
Vacuum plus inerting gas inputs-ex. nitrogen-for the preservation of fresh raw or cooked foods (vegetables, fruits, meat, fish).
Gripping tables in woodworking machines, glass, leather and wherever it is necessary to hold the object to be processed.
Molding plastics and rubbery materials: by means of vacuum it is possible to achieve uniform transformation of the molten product in the molds and give the desired shape to carbon fibers.
Drying treatments: through vacuum it is possible to extract moisture from products or equipment (car/motorcycle brake systems, air conditioning systems, etc.)
Impregnation treatments: vacuum creates conditions for particular substances to penetrate inside the materials to be treated (e.g., impregnation of wood with salts for outdoor use).
